Top 10 iPhone and Android accessories

Anker Nebula Capsule

The Anker Nebula Capsule is a 854x480 pixel projector with a built-in 5W speaker and 5200mAh battery that allows you to wirelessly project movies onto nearby walls and ceilings. But despite this power, the Nebula Capsule is no bigger than a can of soda!

The Anker Nebula Capsule has enough battery life to play video for 4 hours, and act as a Bluetooth speaker for 30 hours.

SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick

I'm always too cheap to buy an iPhone with the maximum capacity, so I end up relying on external storage to pick up the shortfall.

While I like the "flash drive" type accessories that plug into the Lightning port, I find the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick to be far easier and less hassle to use. This is a flash drive - with capacities ranging from 16GB to 256GB - that has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and battery, allowing you to access the data when you're out and about.

The drive can be recharged using a USB-A port, and can stream to three devices simultaneously.

Anker PowerPort+ 5 Ports USB-C

If you have a lot of devices to charge, you need a charger with plenty of outputs, and the Anker PowerPort+ 5 is the perfect charger.

Not only does it have four 2.4A USB-A ports and a single USB-C Power Delivery port that's capable of charging the newer USB-C-equipped MacBooks and MacBook Pros, as well as the new iPhones (with a compatible USB-C-to-Lightning cable).

RAVPower Qi-Certified 10W Fast Wireless Charger

The RAVPower Qi-Certified 10W Fast Wireless Charger is yet another super wireless charger from RAVPower. I especially like the anodized aluminum base which helps keep the charger and the device being charged cool, reducing charge times and improving safety.

Jabra Elite 65t

I've tried a lot of earbud-type headphones, and nothing comes close to the comfort, quality, and performance of the Jabra Elite 65t. They're great for both music and making and receiving calls, feature wind noise cancellation, and the iOS app allows for advanced features, such as allowing ambient sounds to be mixed with the audio from the iPhone.

The buds have a five-hour battery life, with the recharging case offering two more recharges. And recharging is fast, with the buds getting 1.5 hours of battery life with only a 15-minute recharge.

Yubico NEO

Yubico NEO brings hardware-based two-factor authentication to the iPhone, Android devices, as well as PCs and Macs.

LastPass update being pushed out to iOS that enables users to log in to their LastPass Premium, Families, Teams and Enterprise accounts on their iPhone using the same Yubico YubiKey NEO hardware authentication key that they use on their desktop, laptop, or Android device.

Rather than having to remember a passphrase, users can simply tap they YubiKey NEO on the device to authenticate.

- For USB-A ports & NFC active devices

- Designed for keychains

- Rugged, no batteries or moving parts

- Strong two-factor hardware based authentication

- Easy and fast authentication with a single touch or tap to NFC enabled device

Anker cables

I've tested literally hundreds of charging cables over the past few years, and without a doubt the best cables come from Anker.

For the iPhone or iPad I recommend the PowerLine II+ braided cables (which come in sizes from 3 foot to 10 foot), which are pretty much indestructible, and the PowerLine II cables for USB-C and microUSB.

These cables are able to support up to support over 175 lb, can withstand over 10,000 bends, and comes with an excellent warranty.

If you have an iPhone or Android smartphone, you need to take a look at these accessories, which are the best I've tested so far this year.
